He held the will from Emperor Daliang tightly in his hand, but Dai Chao's eyes were filled with anger, which made the Chao Fenglang, who came to pass the imperial edict in front of him, tremble slightly. Before the imperial edict was announced, he was the imperial envoy, but after the decree was announced, he was a humble little official in front of Dai Chao.

"Why!" Dai Chao's voice was very low, but the anger contained inside made Chao Fenglang tremble in his heart. If the person in front of him slashed him with one knife, His Majesty the Emperor would never have any chance to uphold justice for him. "I am about to march into Jiangling, everything is under my control. At this time, what should I do when the third brother's troops come over? Do you pick peaches?"

"I don't know the lower officials, but I don't know the lower officials!" Chao Fenglang said tremblingly.

Dai Chao finally did not lose his mind, threw the order on the desk, and roared at Chao Fenglang: "Get out."

Chao Fenglang breathed a sigh of relief, gave a bow, and almost rolled and crawled out of the hall. It was not until the moment he saw the sun that he stood up, wiped a cold sweat, and felt like he was escaping from death. He decided to come here immediately, the faster the better.

Although the official position is not very good, as a person who has been staying in the center, he is naturally very clear about the increasingly fierce dispute between the Grand Highness and the Third Highness. However, the emperor has never been willing to formally establish the crown throne for any reason. No matter how the court calls on the emperor to quickly establish the crown throne to avoid unnecessary internal friction, the emperor ignored it.

Or, the emperor wants to use this position to seduce the two high men to do their best!

Is this OK?

Or useful.

Because the Third Highness has built a large piece of land in the south over the past year, greatly alleviating the crisis behind Daliang. On the other hand, the Grand Highness also had to do his best in Jingnan to avoid being compared by the Third Highness.

Chao Fenglang left Xiangyang quickly, but Dai Chao's anger was not extinguished.

"Transfer the order He Zhang, Cai Wen, if you can't take Shinye and Dangyang within three days, you will chop your head and send it to me!" Dai Chao slapped the table angrily and shouted.

"I will order the whole army to assemble, and three days later, the troops will be sent to Jiangling Prefecture."

Xiangyang, as the base camp of the Gun Navy, immediately mobilized everyone at Dai Chao's order. If Dai Chao had the intention to slowly defeat Jingnan and avoid too much casualties, he had to do his best now.

Once Zhu Youzhen's troops arrived in Jingnan and took down Jiangling Mansion before him, then Dai Chao would be a joke. He worked hard for several months and almost polished Jingnan's main force, but his highest political enemy easily picked peaches, which made him unable to swallow.

Zhu Youzhen sent Tian Guofeng, who was famous for fighting tough battles. This guy from a bandit was afraid of death. He was defeated by him in a strong city like Ezhou. Although Jiangling is more difficult to fight than Ezhou, no one dared to say that he could not fight in front of this madman. Once Jiangling falls into the hands of this man and wants to get it back, it will be difficult.

He wanted to completely take down Jingnan before Tian Guofeng arrived.

The 20,000 army and 50,000 civilians were mobilized very quickly and set out towards Jiangling Prefecture in a mighty manner. In Xinye and Dangyang, the war also became unprecedentedly fierce with Dai Chao's orders.

Xinye, He Zhang stared at the broken city wall in front of him with red eyes for a while, withdrew his gaze, looked at the group of generals and schoolmen in front of him, and said coldly: "You all know the order of Dai Shuai. If you can't take Xinye in three days, I will lose my head, but before I lose my head, I will cut off your head first. In the next day, I will only give you two days to take Xinye for me."

"As for orders!" A group of generals responded with a loud bang, then turned around and left quickly.

The rumbling sound of war drums sounded, and teams of soldiers pushed large cloud ladders, attacked the city tower, carried simple ladders, and rushed towards Shinye Castle like a madman.

On the city tower, Ding Wei wiped a mixture of blood and sweat from his face, and said to Ding Xiong who came up to replace him: "Gun Haijun is crazy."

"Then let us be a little crazy than them." Ding Xiong choked and pulled out his knife, "You go down and rest for a while."

There were 5,000 defenders in Xinye, of which 3,000 were Ding's private army. This was a team that was stronger than the Jingnan Army. For many years, Ding's family had enough money to feed them with silver. They also had a general in it. Almost all of them had children from the Ding family, and they had no way out. They had no way out except to fight to the death.

For them, death and escaping were completely different from ice and fire.

After death in battle, the family can still receive a heavy pension, and their children can continue to become Ding's private soldiers, but once they escape, their families will be expelled from Ding's family, their fields will be taken back, their family's property will be confiscated, and they will become the group of people who are more miserable than tenants.

Another unit led by Bai Qian who defended Dangyang was the private army of Bai. The situation was probably the same as that of Ding's private army. These two private armies were also the capital of Ding's and Bai's control of the entire Jingnan.

If Ding Jian had not had a special identity, these two families would never have put themselves in such a cruel battlefield. Ding Jian was the eldest son of Ding and the son-in-law of Bai. Under his crazy request, Ding Bai and the two families finally put all their capital on Li Ze's gambling table.

They have no other choice than to win.

"Kill them all!" Ding Xiong howls screamed and rushed forward, grabbing a spear that was stabbing towards him, slashing the head of an enemy's head to the point where only a little tendon is left. He kicked the dead body away, poked the snatched spear out with his backhand. The tail of the spear was pressed against the chest of another Gun Navy soldier who had climbed up, and poked him from the top of the city.

He swung his spear and swept out again, sweeping another enemy beside him down the city wall. Ding Xiong stood beside the chassis, slashed left and right, and in an instant he slashed all the opponents around him.

A Ding private army raised a stone and rushed to the side of the squadron. Just as they were about to throw the stone down, a spear pierced from the bottom and pierced through his chest with a long cry. With a long cry, the private soldier threw the stone in his hand and smashed it right on the opponent's head. The opponent fell down the city wall with a backward green onion. The private soldier also threw his upper body on the city wall, and completely lost his breath.

Ding Wei said that Gun Navy was crazy and was not wrong. The war became unprecedentedly fierce, and he repelled the first wave of attacks at the top of the city. The Gun Navy, who fled in a panic, were the feather arrows that were supervising the team behind him.

"Forward, forward, those who retreat will die!" The roar of the supervisory team made the Gun Haijun, who had already retreated, pounced on him with red eyes.

When the last ray of sunlight flashed in the sky a few times and finally disappeared his light, the central army of Gun Navy finally sounded the sound of the gongs of the gongs to withdraw the troops.

Whether it was the attacking side or the defense side, they were exhausted at this moment. Looking at the retreating Gun Haijun, Ding Xiong and Ding Wei, who had been rotated several times, collapsed on the city wall with weak hands and feet.

"What happened?" Ding Wei threw the serrated knife in his hand aside, took a kettle from his personal soldiers, and drank more than half of it in one gulp.

Ding Xiong snatched the kettle and drank the remaining water in one go, saying, "Something must have happened, but such a change must be a good thing for us, otherwise they would not go crazy."

"Even if it is a good thing for us, if we continue to fight like this, we are afraid we can't defend it." Ding Wei looked at the soldiers lying on the city wall and said, "In today's battle, one-third of the casualties were killed. The soldiers we can use are less than three thousand. I don't know what the situation is in Dangyang, but I think it's probably similar to ours. Our elite soldiers are here. If they are all destroyed, what should Jiangling Mansion do?"

"I don't know, the young master wants to have plans!" Ding Xiong said: "We just fight and guard until the last moment."

The night finally fell, and there was no light in the city, but outside the city, there were bright lights. Standing on the top of the city, you could clearly see that the enemy on the opposite side was actually rushing to make up for the losses of today overnight. It seemed that tomorrow would never be easier than today.

"What, retreat?" Ding Xiong looked at the messenger with sweat stains all over his body from Jiangling Mansion, "Where is the Dangyang?"

"There are also messengers who have passed by, and Dangyang and Xinye have all given up." The messenger said: "Gong Gong Ding said that he would fight to the decisive battle under Jiangling Prefecture."

Ding Xiong and Ding Wei looked at each other. Xinye and Dangyang were the gateways of Jiangling Mansion. Once they completely gave up these two places, the enemy would go straight to the core of Jingnan, which was equivalent to giving up most of Jingnan.

"Gong Gong Ding said, save his strength and fight against Jiangling. As for the others, you will naturally know when the two generals return to Jiangling Mansion." said the messenger.

"I understand!" the two nodded.

That night, Ding Xiong and Ding Wei gave up their serious injuries in the city and quietly evacuated Xinye.

The fierce battle in the day also made Gunhaibian Cai Quan never expect that his opponent would leave like this. By the time he launched another attack, Xinye had become an empty city.

Although it was a bit inexplicable, Cai Quan was relieved. Yesterday's battle, to be honest, made him tremble in his heart. If he continues to fight like this, the enemy may not be able to defend it, but his subordinates may also suffer heavy losses.

This is a happy ending for everyone. When we arrived at Jiangling Mansion, Jieshuai himself came. He didn't have to bear such a big responsibility anymore. He always felt that his head was swaying on his shoulders.
